Online Comics:
It’s been a few weeks since my last update and I’ve been getting a gigabyte worth of email a day, non stop phone calls, and teenage girls chasing me down the street begging for a digital comic book run down, so here it is!
DC Comics wants you to know that they are offering multiple issues to peek inside every month as downloadable PDF’s.
And If you click the Heroes and Villains tab on the main page you’ll find some great in-browser reading including some awesome origin stories and more importantly Superman Daily newspaper reprints, all for the price of FREE.
Take that Marvel!
And Marvel wants you to know they’ve added some awesome all ages books including some wonderful Franklin Richards stories. Check out the free previews and read them to the kids in your life.
Apps:
Viz Media announced their free Viz Manga app for the iPad. I suggest you check out this smooth looking app now and take advantage of the free download of the full DEATH NOTE Vol. 1.
Evil Dead Video game:
This is Comic book, digital, and video game related so it warrants inclusion because it looks fun.
the Walking Dead:
Seeing as everyone has a hard-on for the Walking Dead (as well they should) I have to mention the Dedicated app again!
WEB COMICS:
The medium that consumes more time to create than any other keeps getting better and the artists toil in obscurity until you actually read them.
I’ve gotten hooked on quite a few in the last month but the stand out is Drew Pocza’s POKEWEED
Consistently funny with a great cast of characters including Phil the optimist, Clint the flamboyantly straight dog and my favorite Chuck the Cthulhu looking ex monster. I get as many laughs out of this comic as I do from early Liberty Meadows strips, and that’s saying a lot. Please check it out.
That it for now see you in 3 months!
